Win Percy Trophy Part 2 highlights

Part 2 of the Win Percy Trophy sees the car owners take to the Motor Circuit after the pros put their small-capacity tin tops through their paces in Part 1. The overall result is an aggregate of both races, but that makes no difference to the spectacle. Every driver wants to lead on the road.

The flurry of Ford Escorts, Minis, Triumph Dolomites made for quite the sight as they sped away from the start. Nick Swift in his Mini 1275GT got off to a lightning start, chased closely by Dave Devine’s Ford Escort and Mat Jackson’s Volkswagen Scirocco. Devine took the lead into St. Mary’s, but Swift stick with him as they battled into Lavant Corner.

Jackson got in on the action too as the front three continued to battle at the head of the field for the opening 6 laps until Swift pulled over with a mechanical issue. That left Devine and Jackson, joined by Bonamy Grimes, to duke it out for victory. Who took the win? Watch the highlights to find out.

Win Percy Trophy Part 2 Official Practice

Cool air and cold tarmac greeted drivers for the Win Percy Trophy Part 2 Official Practice first thing on the Sunday morning of the 83^rd Members’ Meeting. The cars’ owners were picking up from where the professionals had left off, and were on their own missions to get the best grid positions they could.

With six minutes to go of the 15-minute session, just 0.3 seconds separated the top three places. But before the flag dropped Jim Morris had found some clear space around his Volkswagen Scirocco and set a time 1.31 second clear of his nearest rival, Dave Devine aboard a Ford Escort RS2000.

Win Percy Trophy Part 1 highlights 

The 83^rd Members’ Meeting got off to a scintillating start when the flag dropped for the first race of the weekend, the Win Percy Trophy Part 1. This was the race where the professional drivers took to the circuit in 1970s saloon cars, with their owners due to take the wheel in Part 2 on Sunday.

The 28-car grid looked utterly pent up ahead of the flag dropping, aside from the gap where Chris Harris should have lined up – his Alfa Romeo had faltered on the formation lap. It was the plucky Mini 1275GT of Alex Buncombe sitting in pole position, he had benefitted from slipstreaming during qualifying and would need to defend hard against the more powerful Ford Escort RS2000s that completed the front row. Once was driven by Tom Kristensen, the other, Romain Dumas.

What transpired was 20 minutes of the closest racing we might see all weekend. When the cars filed through the chicane for the first time, it was a nose-to-tail train with scarcely any air between. By midway through the race, just 0.8 second separated the best lap times of the first 13 cars. 

For lap after lap, the leading pack jostled, vied and battled for the advantage. Places were exchanged frequently until everything came down to a last-corner lunge that scattered any preconceptions of who might take the win.

Win Percy Trophy Part 1 Official Practice

British Saloon Car Champion Win Percy would be delighted with the cars on track today. Lined up and ready for action in Part 1 of the Win Percy Trophy, the sheer variety of cars and drivers promises an unpredictable and exciting race.

Alex Buncombe made his mark by claiming pole position for today’s 15:20 race, in the 1978 Mini 1275 GT. Alongside him on the front row will be Darnley House Captain Tom Kristensen in his 1979 Volkswagen Golf GTI, who qualified just 0.021 seconds behind Buncombe’s Mini. With both drivers proving highly efficient around the Goodwood Motor Circuit this morning, this is shaping up to be one of the races to watch. Completing the front row in third place is Romain Dumas, driving the Ford Escort RS2000 — the same model that won the Win Percy Trophy last year.

Further down the grid, Aubigny House Captain Andy Priaulx will be starting from 12^th, with brothers and Fellow House Captains Marino and Dario Franchitti lining up in 15^th and 16^th respectively.
